If humanists were right in declaring that man is born to be happy, he would not be born to die ... 
evidently must be of a more spiritual nature ... 
It cannot be the unrestrained enjoyment of ... material goods ... 
It has to be the fulfillment of a permanent ... 
an experience of moral growth, so that one may leave life a better human being ... 
Only voluntary, inspired self-restraint can raise man above the world stream of materialism.
